FROM HENBURY GAS ON GASCHAT

 

Ok here we go.......

I sat down last night to watch our friends south of the river get smashed by a far superior and well funded Manure United.

When i found out they had put out a strong team worth £400m my hopes where raised....

BUT Well done Bristol City, you provided me a with a fantastic spectacle of a football match which you deserved to win (hurts to say that but you cannot deny it)

The fact the Snake provided a world class pass for the winning goal  hurt even more....

I wish you all the best for the next round and i hope you smash the other plastic team from Manchester

NOW PRINT THAT ON OTIB

BUT I BET YOU DON'T ! BECAUSE YOU ONLY PUT SH*T ABOUT US ON THAT SH*T FORUM

 

Bet I do!  Fair play and nice words, What do I win Henbury?

Deserves a sticky at the top of the page.

Loma force of nature. Love watching him in an era of instantly forgettable fighters

And there is probs why. No disrespect intended to those who lost more, but as you pointed out, it wasnt written so therefore how would I know about it?

It wasn't a dig at you. 

There is a lot written about it.. but us as fans generally only want to look at the nostalgic hero's of our club bit.  If you really want to know the history there is loads out there. Just as easy to find as that story you went looking for.

Just now, CrazyInWeston said:

Well I wouldnt know you see. I wasnt alive in '82

I was. And a lot is written about the 8.. not so much about others that lost livelihoods. All gets brushed under the carpet for a nostalgic look back at history.

And we ALL have these players to thank for not adding our club to that list!

Or businesses and people made redundant at said businesses that were not paid by Bristol city. That is who I feel more grateful to than 8 footballers who would have been out of a job if the had agreed or not agreed to rip up their contracts.

Personally I think those who lost more than those footballers are the ones that really lost out.

Them sags will have fun playing joob cricket with this one!!!

Time to let Eliasson get a half in a league game. Perfect situation to show what he can do in the league.

Went to that one. Car got stolen. Took about 10 hours to get back to Knowle. Worth it though

I went to that one and I'm sure it was Rosenior who osman pulled a masterstroke with by putting probably the best header of a ball I have seen at city even though not being 6ft to centre back and he headed everything that went to Francis.

Or did I dream that?

Yea looks like Conor was getting the better of Paulie but i expect that because PM isn't in shape and CM is the bigger man, would be interesting to see a prime PM against CM.

Its a shame it went tits up between the pair because PM would of taught CM a lot.

Indeed, ego vs ego, not helped at all.

probably wanted a different boxer to help him truth be told, they all have ego, but these too a clash was kind of inevitable

I see footage of the Mcgregor/Paulie sparring has been released.....doesn't look like a push to me.

Btw a UFC fight is three, five minute rounds unless its a title fight or the main fight on the card then its five, five minute rounds.

Looks like Paulie was bullshitting, seems to me Conner was hiting him at will cracking his head back a few times, doesn't look like a push to me, and he looked far more tired than McGregor

Why indeed.

99% of it is horseshit, including the ramblings of thee and me.

Amen to that

Why put it on the internet?

Mememememememememe.

 

So people can look at it if they want to, why put anything on the internet?

Fair enough.

Still not sure about filming yourself running away and then putting it on the internet though.

As I said - is there no end to the meme vanity of today's yoof!?

 

 

He isn't a hooligan, so why would he stand and take a pasting from some inbred knuckle draggers?  His videos highlight the match day experience, including running from retards, if that is part of the experience.

Any sane human wouldn't want a punch in the face or a stamp on the head just for watching a football match would they?

If Fury gets hit with that uppercut like last night it will be goodnight. Make that any heavweight boxer.

Quite amazed it didn't  put Wlad on his ass.  They always go on about his suspect chin, but he took that beaut and needed another 3 or 4 clums to put him on  on his ass.  

Just now, yardy said:

Yea i agree Joshua will learn a lot from this and be better for it, he fought like he was too heavy and after knocking Wlad down the first time Joshua had gassed. 

Can't deny the Klitsckho brothers dominating a generation but they both bored me to tears most of the time, tonight i have huge more respect for Wlad

Wlad used to like a bit of a tear up until he got a better trainer. then dominate and bored people.  I like them both, they went after the title,and kept it for a decade.

I think Joshua has the natural power, he could probably be more effective with being a little lighter with more speed.

Just now, yardy said:

Absolutely effin amazing fight, it had it all!

Massive respect for both fighters, AJ from coming from the brink of defeat to stay in and win by ko and Wlad for having the perfect game plan to stop AJ. his movement for a 41 year old heavyweight is inspiring and nearly won him the fight.

Both fighters are a credit to boxing and sport, dedicated, hungry and professional sportsman.

Brilliant stuff!

 

Indeed, for me both the Klitsckho brothers were and are a credit to their sport, they get such a bad press, but the way both of them managed fights, for me was very impressive. Joshua will have learned a hell of a lot tonight, this may be the making of him.

Just now, Kid in the Riot said:

Vitali in his pomp would've put his foot on the gas too, the more aggressive fighter of the two brothers.

Not sure what now for AJ? Tonight's result might force Fury to get his ass in gear. Otherwise Parker, Wilder, er...

Aye, I reckon Vitali was the better of the two as well, had more killer instinct for me.

i'd like to see Wilder,they are similar,both capable of the KO, after that,Fury,it will take him the best part of a year to gt back into shape, his style is so annoying I am not sure if AJ could deal with it,it would be interesting to see a AJ punch nailed on Fury's chin, just to really see what Fury is all about.

Boxing covers boxing,UFC covers a lot obviously but majority is wrestling on the floor slamming a few elbows in the face,I know what I prefer

Indeed, I also prefer boxing.  UFC is very much dependent on your style, its not all on the floor with elbows to the head, the most spectacular knockouts are far from floor based grappling,unless you are looking at the woman's ex champ when it was all about dislocating the oopponents arm.

UFC is brutal where as boxing imo has more class.

I like both, but prefer boxing.

Just now, Kid in the Riot said:

What a fight.

I agree with @TRL about the muscle weight. AJ was gassing for 3 rounds after the knockdown and barely throwing anything back. He can't afford to do that again, particularly in with a younger fitter opponent with more of a killer instinct. I actually thought his corner could've thrown the towel in at one point.

I thought Wlad could have finished him but knew he wouldn't as that's not his style, he prefers a chess match.

Wlad was quality tonight though and deserves huge praise.

The night was made complete by Eddie Hearn getting booed at the end and finally realising that no one wants to hear from you ya bell end!

Great stuff. Could they do it all again?

I reckon Wlad 10 years younger would have taken AJ's head off after the 6th. But he must have had so much belief in his own fight management not to do it.  That decision bit him in the ass, I think as you say AJ was there for the taking, I bet those muscles were feeling so tired for a few rounds, legs wobbly and arms feeling like lead.  Showed heart, a lot of heart, but I am betting Wlad feels like he made the wrong decision in that fight now.

Just now, Red Army 75 said:

UFC doesn't even come close. Each to their own though 

depends what you are looking for.  UFC covers many forms of fighting tactics whereas boxing covers 1.

UFC if far more technically challenging, but I do prefer boxing out of the two.

Get a boxer in with a UFC fighter at the same weight and UFC fighter wins... unless the boxer has had the relevant training.

Just now, Orbital said:

Indeed, but those cards were generous. I thought it was pretty even up to that point, possibly with Klitchsko shading it due to those middle rounds,

I had Wlad up by 1, but your and my decision would have meant nowt if it had gone to cards
